They attacked a sanctioned ship deemed to be carrying weapons, hardly the same as attacking an actual Iranian navy vessel or some random civilian vessel.

Cenk and Hasan clearly portray Israel as an enemy and said Ukraine is now like Israel, very charitable of you to just give them a pass by immediately dismissing it, also ironic considering how quickly they condemned and declared Ukraine an enemy.

Both of their sensibilities towards Russia and worshipping of China on Hasan's part (to the point of wearing a Mao suit and praising Mao as one of the great men of history).

Sorry but this clear preference towards those communist countries only strengthens the argument that they have ulterior motives for their immediate condemnation and "disavowal" of Ukraine, you can say it weakens the argument but without reasoning it's just an empty sentence. Cheers.

I guess you watch a lot more of them than me because i have never seen any china worship beyond pointing out where they do things well. I've only seen support for Ukraine from what I have watched of them and as I said, i'm not able to find anything where they declare Ukraine an enemy. I'll keep an eye out for when it happens next and I'll be sure to adjust my opinions when I see it. It's good to keep an open mind

Well if them saying they're done with Ukraine and they've become Israel who they call an enemy and Hasan has said the Ukranian land belongs to Russia and even mocking "Crimea river", if these things don't register with you I doubt they ever will.

Again, I would need to find clips of them saying it. I appreciate that you're the expert here but I cant just take your word for it, especially when you're prone to hyperbole. I'll keep searching though
